MOSCOW, November 21. /TASS/. Russia’s Sukhoi Su-30SM2 fighter jets have destroyed hundreds of targets, including US-made Patriot air defense systems in the special military operation in Ukraine, the state tech corporation Rostec reported.
"Aircraft of this type have confirmed their effectiveness in the special military operation. They have a record of hundreds of destroyed aerial and ground targets, including Patriot systems," Rostec said.
The United Aircraft Corporation (part of Rostec) has delivered a new batch of Su-30SM2 fighter jets to Russia’s Aerospace Forces, it said.
The Su-30SM2 is a highly maneuverable fighter jet with high performance characteristics, which employs a broad range of armaments, including long-range weapons, Rostec said.
"Thanks to its powerful radar, the Su-30SM2 can 'see' farther and more accurately, which facilitates the crew’s operation. In turn, its advanced electronic warfare system allows the fighter to effectively counter enemy air-launched weapons," Rostec said.
